Longs Drugs is in the process of converting to CVS -- here's an interesting story. Bob Longs founded the chain and he married a Hawaiian. That's why all the islands have Longs Drug Stores. When they were built, each store was blessed by a Hawaiian Priest or Priestess. This is a BIG deal in Hawaii -- everyone has their home and business blessed and it is a sacred thing. But Longs decided, since the Hawaiian people are very superstitious, that they would not shop in a CVS. So, for Hawaii only, the stores will remain Longs to not upset the gods. And when the Longs brand merchandise all gets pulled to put in the CVS brand, they will send everything to Hawaii.

My 2 cents on Grass Valley City Administrator Dan Holler being up for an up to 5% merit raise? He's worth it.
